Queen Sofia, 85 years old, has been hospitalized in Madrid. The Royal Household reported on her evolution and state of health.
The news has surprised everyone, as she is one of the public figures of the Spanish Royal Family who usually makes less headlines for health issues.
However, this Tuesday the emeritus queen had to be admitted to hospital due to an infection.
The Royal House has communicated her health condition to reassure the followers of the Monarchy.
Queen Sofia hospitalized
According to the information provided by the Royal House, Queen Sofia was transferred last night to the Ruber clinic, a medical center of reference for the Royal Family.
The wife of King Juan Carlos I suffered a urinary tract infection.
Despite how worrying a hospital admission may sound, the latest news about her state of health is quite positive.
“Her Majesty Queen Sofia was transferred last night to the Ruber clinic for a urinary tract infection. The evolution is being very rapid and favorable,” reported the Royal House in a statement issued Tuesday.
Thus, the Queen Emeritus remains hospitalized and under observation, although there seems to be no reason for further concern about her health.
The truth is that the news has come as a surprise to all and sundry since in recent days Queen Sofia had been seen at various public events.
The Spanish emeritus was at the wedding of the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida.
She also attended the funeral of her nephew, Fernando Gómez-Acebo.
Nothing foreshadowed that she could suffer a health problem of this nature.
The Ruber Clinic is the medical center of reference for the Spanish Royal Family, where both the Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofia were born.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Queen Sofia has been transferred to this hospital in Madrid due to the unexpected health problem she has suffered.
Now, the media attention is focused on knowing when the Queen Emeritus will be discharged from the hospital and how her condition will evolve in the coming hours and days.
The Royal Household has shown optimism and tranquility, which suggests that there is no reason for further concern about the health of Queen Emeritus Sofia.
